About the event
NLAA’S 41ST BIRTHDAY
We’re turning 41. And we’re throwing out the gala playbook.
No fancy tables. No silent auction. No $100 ticket just to get through the door.
Instead, we’re filling The Boathouse with art, food, stories, surprises, and the people who make this community what it is.
The Art of Community is part birthday party, part season launch, part community arts gathering, and one big celebration of what’s possible when people show up for the arts and for each other.
Come eat. Have a drink. Experience art. Meet someone new. And be among the first to see what’s coming next.
